Tv-Out stopped working

Hi,
I have been using my iBook 14" with my television, via the apple adapter to AV input on the TV for months without any problem. Then suddenly just a couple of days ago it stopped working. Now, when I plug in the iBook the iBook screen refreshes (just as normal) but no picture ever arrives on the screen of my TV. Everuthing else is working fine on my computer. Does anyone know what this could be?
Glen

the iBook works, but does the tv work without the iBook? this could be very easily solved if this is the problem...

Video out stopped working with 10.4.6 update

Hi, i've just installed the 10.4.6 update and now i have no video out.
i have a video connected to the adc to s vhs connector. now when i start up my monitor starts up as the second display, and i have to put my computer to sleep and then wake it up and the monitor is reset to the main display.
is there anyway i can reset something, cause it seems like it's remember previous settings or something.
HELP!
if i disconnect the adc to s vhs adapter then it is all fine.

7 hours later and i finally get it working again.
i have no idea why this happened, but somehow the menu bar got switched to the tv display. at the same time as this my video stopped working properly. so that was half the problem.
then it took ages to reconfigure switch res, but i finally did it.
for some reason my g5 doesn't want to know about using a tv as a 2nd display, until......UNTIL!!!! you rotate the display in the display preference by 90 degrees. then all of a sudden it comes on, and you can rotate it back to normal.
why oh why this happens only apple knows. it's like a secret door into the wonderful world of dual displays.
sort it out apple.

Digital out stopped working for no reason?

I have been using the digital out through an optical cable to my surround sound for quite a few months. Today I turned the machine on and the sound no longer comes through. The surround sound does not show a connected device.
I have checked the cable and surround sound device by plugging in another device that has optical out - this works fine. When I plug the optical cable into the back of the mini mac it lights up.
Does anyone have any ideas how this might suddenly stop working and if there is way to fix it? Is the output of the digital out affected by software updates (im running latest updates)?

Hi.
Go to system preferences and then open sound. Click on the output tab and see what info you have under name. If you see Digital Out, it is hardware related (MLB) and needs service. Try to reset the SMC of the mini as well. Here's the steps:

Good luck.

TV Out Stops working after Upgrading to iOS4

I have upgraded to iOS 4 on a 2nd gen iPod touch, and TV Out has stopped working. I know the problem isn't with my TV or Video cable,　since my iPhone 3GS with iPhone OS 3.0 firmwware works perfectly with TV Out. So I dare not upgrade my iPhone 3GS.

I'm a fool. My iPod Touch hasn't powered off for weeks. After rebooting, it seems everything works fine including TV Out. By the way, I upgraded from iPhone 3.0 and it's almost a clean install as I clicked restore. Miraculously, instead of restoring, it upgraded to iOS 4.0.
The only issue is that the battery seems to be drying out faster.

Why does the hdmi sound out stop working once I start using eyetv?

I upgraded to Lion and now I have a few problems. I use the Elgato EyeTV to record television on my Mac Mini. I have been using it for a few years. Now once I watch something on my EyeTV the hdmi sound output stops working and I have to reboot to be able to hear audio from iTunes or anything other then EyeTV. Why is this happening and when will there be an update to fix it?

There were numerous audio issues with OSX 10.6.8 that
were carried over into Lion and not resolved. Issues
with EyeTV was just one of them. May want to check
the Snow Leopard forum for workarounds, if any for your case.

Wireless mouse intermittently drops out/stops working

I have just bought a Mac Mini. I'm not a fan of Apple keyboards or mice, so I've bought a third party keyboard and I'm using a mouse that I already had (Microsoft Wireless Mouse 1000). Whilst it works fine with my Macbook Pro and PC, with the mini I get drop outs in the form of jerky movement and occassionally stopping long enough to see it just isn't moving. The mini works fine with a wired mouse.
My gut feeling from playing around with the different mice and computers is that it is actually the aluminium case shielding the signal from the mouse (as both are on the desktop and the mini sits at the back of the desk with the USB ports on the back and a great chunk of aluminium therefore in front of it.
I have a USB hub built in to the monitor, but that seems to have the same problem - the USB ports are behind the panel and associated electronics. Sadly, my keyboard (Ducky Zero DK2108) doesn't have a hub built in, so I can't connect the dongle to that either.
I'm just surprised I haven't seen (after a lot of googling) other complaints about the same. I may have to reluctantly buy a Bluetooth mouse as the BT antenna is of course outside of the Alu case. An alternative may be to use a small USB hub that can be positioned with line-of-sight to the mouse. It seems absurd I would have to do either of those things.
Can anyone else comment on their experiences?
Thanks!

Airport Express light went out, stopped working.

Airport Express light went out. iMac says the connection is "excellent," but it's not working (I use it to stream audio) and is getting very warm. Did it die?

The usual cause of a dark LED is a failed AirPort Express. The reason your iMac reports an "excellent" connection is a mystery, but would be explained if it is actually connected to a different wireless network.
The only potential remedy is a "hard reset" (see below). In rare occasions, repetitive and persistent attempts have been known to revive an ailing Express. There isn't anything else you can do. A "factory defaults reset" is identical, but is performed by keeping its reset button depressed while connecting it to power. Try that also.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then gently press and hold its tiny reset button. Don't apply any more force than required to feel a tactile click. Keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.

Adobe Bridge Search Tool Just Stopped Working

i recently upgraded to CS6 and all was well for a couple weeks then all of the sudden the search tool in bridge just flat out stopped working. i always used it to search for keywords and it worked almost flawlessly until today. i have thousands of photos on multiple hard drives and ive even tried indexing them to no avail. nothing works. ive used both the search bar in the top right corner as well as the find window and still nada. i purged the cache, i rebuilt the cache and did everything else i could think of still to no avail. ive googled and googled and googled and found absolutely no help in resolving this issue. i reset bridge during startup also to no avail. i even indexed specific files in specific folders and pointed the search directly to those folders and still nothing. i dont know what else to try at this point. can anyone offer any suggestions before i give up and just re-install the product (which i REALLY dont wanna do)?
im running CS6 on Windows 7 64-bit .. and again, it worked fine until today. i havent changed any settings or modified anything that i can think of that would have thrown bridge out of whack.

Weird. Have you tried resetting Bridge (Ctrl/Cmd-click icon)?
Maybe the cache is damaged or unwriteable?
I assume that the index is created in the Cache 'data' folder, and that this is the root of your problem. As an experiment, you could create a new folder in a known good writeable location on an internal drive, and change the cache location in Bridge Preferences (making a note of the existing location first). When you restart Bridge, it will use the new location, and automatically create a new index and preview cache.
Then try a search in one folder, for a known used keyword, making sure you have indexing turned on in the search options. Let us know how you get on.

Mac Mini and USB 2.0 hubs (hubs stop working within a month)

I have an aluminum Mini running OSX 10.6.6 (Snow Leopard). With only 4 USB ports, I have need of a USB hub to accommodate my external drives and other peripherals: keyboard/mouse, camera and iPhone have to use the existing ports in the Mini (difficult access to ports due to space limitations), leaving one port for up to 4 external drives (older drives 40-60gb used for backup and extra storage).
I have problems using powered USB 2.0 hubs with this computer; I have 'burned out' 2 hubs since buying the Mini in February. They just flat out stop working, though they still show power (the power indicator light on the hubs); no peripheral is recognized when plugged into the hub (which worked fine for about a month). I can unplug the 'must use Mini ports' (camera, iPhone, charger, etc) and the peripheral drives are recognized and work normally when plugged directly into the Mini ports.
One hub was a Belkin 4-port hub (about 1 year old) and the other was a GE 3-port hub with several flash card readers (19-in-1 card reader), also about a year old. Is there any reasonable explanation why powered hubs would suddenly stop working, related to use with the Mac Mini 2010 aluminum version?
I had worse problems with the USB ports in an old (~2006) Mac Mini (out of warranty), where the USB ports in the Mini stopped working, which is partly why I bought the new mini. In light of this tidbit, (be honest, please) are there known issues with Mac Minis and USB?

Each of the external drives has its own power supply; I generally only use one drive at any one time, but on rare occasions I have powered up more than one to confirm or transfer files. I don't leave any of those drives on when not in use, and when everything is working I properly eject/unmount them before turning them off.
There have been times when I powered up a drive connected to a powered hub and both the hub and the drive indicated activity but the drive didn't mount. On those occasions the drives sometimes would not appear in Disk Utility, and other times would appear, but would not be "mountable". I didn't know what the best way to deal with that was, so I would just turn the drive off, hoping the lack of mounting on the desktop meant no real drive activity was occurring and I wouldn't risk data loss or drive damage. So far all the drives seem to work fine when plugged directly into the back of the mini.
The main external hard drive I was using when the Belkin hub failed (iomega 40g) is USB 2.0 only (no firewire). I have another drive that is only firewire (la cie 60g)... so it wasn't a factor. Two other external drives are ACOM, one 40g one 120g, and then there's my old iMac G5 disk (display fizzled and everything but the disk recycled through Apple's recycling program) which is mounted in an external enclosure and is part of the USB contingent, but is not being used for anything but backup (all three both USB 2 and FW400 capable). (I know, too many toys... but why throw them out?)
The USB hubs both had their own power supplies, too, and I never used them without power (though I tried it as part of troubleshooting, before reading the Apple article on USB and power requirements). Other USB devices that only work when plugged into the mac directly are my Epson Stylus CX4800 all-in-one, and my Radio Shark.
So, whaddya think? Should I risk buying another powered USB hub or just live with plugging in peripherals to one available USB port (through a short USB 2.0 extension) and only use one at a time? That would be a bit of a pain, but if there are no issues you've heard of with Mac USB ports (several unanswered questions in the Mini Support forums here involving USB and peripherals, I noticed), what else would explain the seemingly short lives of USB hubs?
Oh, here's something I just remembered: the last time the Belkin hub was working (last night), I had my Radtech BT mouse charger cable plugged in (not charging, mouse not attached) along with two of the external hard drives, and my Fuji camera USB cable. I got an error message onscreen (on the Mini) that a drive had been improperly ejected (or put away?), yet the hard drive in question was still mounted on the desktop. I looked at the hub, and the loose ends of the charger and the camera USB cable were touching. Could that have caused the error (and maybe the hub to fail)? (Edit: the camera cable I think was plugged into the mini's one available port; 3 external drives and the mouse charger were plugged into the hub, _but only one drive powered up and in use (3rd edit)_. The camera end of its USB cable contacted the mini-plug end of the mouse charger... could that have short-circuited the hub? +That wouldn't explain the failure of the GE hub a couple weeks before... but I don't know if any of this is connected, so to speak--2nd edit.+)

I've had my iPod 5th gen for a few months now and out of nowhere the microphone has stopped working.

I've had my iPod 5th gen for a few months now and out of nowhere the microphone has stopped working. It won't pick up anything, I can't use it for recording, face time, siri or anything else. Every time I try and record and play it back its just all fuzzy, is there anyway of fixing it without having to send it off for repair?

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the tope edge near the center.
- Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
You can also send it to Apple.

I am having problems with my optical corded mouse that came with my iMac (it's about 2 years old) It stops working periodically, and I can't figure out how to fix it; doesn't look like I can open it to clean it, or anything like that.

My corded optical mouse (model A 1152),which came with my desktop iMac, stops working periodically. The little tracball may work scrolling down a page, but not up, sometimes, and I have yet to figure out how to fix it, or why it happens at all. Is there someone who has had that problem, and what did you do?

Hello:
Turn the mouse upside down and run it (vigorously) over a piece of paper. Better yet, run it over a microfiber cloth.

I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do?

I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do? I am on OS X Yosemite.

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wireless router.
Step 1
Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
Step 2
Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 3
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 4
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 5
In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
Step 6
Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 7
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 8
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 9
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
